What does VUGGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Containing many vugs, meaning small cavities or hollows, often lined with mineral crystals, within a rock.
Geologists describe a rock as vuggy when it is riddled with small, irregular hollows formed as gas bubbles, dissolved minerals or shrinking material leave gaps inside once-solid stone. These small hollows, called vugs, are frequently lined with quartz, calcite or other crystals that grew slowly from mineral-rich water seeping through the rock over long periods. A vuggy sample is prized by mineral collectors because the open spaces often reveal well-formed crystal faces that would otherwise be hidden inside solid rock. In mining and oil exploration, vuggy rock is also significant because the open spaces can affect how fluids move through the ground.
